UPDATE: Missing SC mom, 1-year-old have been found ‘in good health’ cops say
The search for a missing South Carolina woman and her 1-year-old daughter has ended, as both were located Wednesday, the Spartanburg Police Department said.
Police said Kathryn Myers, 28, and her daughter Leslie, who were reported missing by their family on Monday, were found “in good health,” according to a news release from police.
Myers was interviewed and evaluated by “a police department in another jurisdiction,” which determined both she and her daughter are “fine,” according to the release. Spartanburg police said it also spoke with Myers.
Both were missing since 10 a.m. Saturday, according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. Myers’ cell phone was dead and she didn’t pack anything for herself or the baby before she went missing, police said, the newspaper reported.
Myers’ mother, Laura Myers, told police “her daughter had recently been showing signs of paranoia and stress,” WYFF reports. She thought “she was being followed and that someone was watching her,” the police report said, according to the TV station.
“PLEASE help our family find our loved ones. We need the (community’s) help to find them, as they could’ve been in a wreck, or worse…Every hour that passes is one more where we could be closer to getting them help,” Myers’ sister-in-law Kimberly Kluge Davis told WSPA.
Police thanked the media for spreading word about the missing woman and her child, and was grateful for assistance from other law enforcement agencies on the east coast in addition to citizens for their assistance.
